QB change likely for FAMU Rattlers

TALLAHASSEE, Florida -- FAMU's starting quarterback for Saturday's game against Savannah State has become a very touchy subject with coach Earl Holmes.

During his conference call Tuesday, Holmes said deciding who will get the start is something that he will "take a hard look at." However, he was more hush-hush following Tuesday's practice when pressed on whether back-up Carson Royal will get the start over starter Damien Fleming.

"Yes," Holmes said when asked during his conference call if he is considering a quarterback change for this weekend. "It's a possibility, buta Damien is a leader. He is a veteran but we're carrying some young guys up front (on the offensive line). We'll look at Carson and see what he can do to help us win a football game."
